#lithiumpolymer — Public Fediverse posts

Continuing the theme of disposable #vapes disguised as beverages, these take the shape of sports water bottles. Each has a USB-C port for recharging the 600mAh #lithiumPolymer battery.

There is an inner shell protecting the battery so it is undamaged despite the case being cracked open by force -- likely stomped on or run over by car. But likely suffered internal damage from a very brutal recharging regime.

Found a Pyne Pod 8500 discarded in the grass during a walk into town yesterday

Surprisingly sophisticated charging circuitry for an item designed to be disposable. No obvious way to open it in order for owners to refill the tank or to swap in a new atomizer module.

#eWaste #litter #pollution #vape #eCigarette #lithiumPolymer #battery

Haven't seen a single-use #vape device in this form factor before. Found discarded in the grass along the side of a public footpath

Internal #LithiumPolymer battery is rechargeable via USB-C but the tank is not refillable. Still has a voltage of 3.7V
I wonder how many times it was recharged before becoming street #litter

Vapers on Reddit noticed the blatant #shrinkflation in Elfbar #vapePens and Lost Mary disposable #vapes months ago

I wonder if this why I have been finding more discarded Crystal brands than Elfbars recently

#lithiumPolymer #batteryHarvesting

Whether or not these disposable #vape devices get banned, the astonishing level of #shrinkflation that is bordering on scam territory, should be sufficient reason to stop buying these single-use #VapePens

The 550mAh #lithiumPolymer #battery (date code 221101) was found in a discarded Elfbar 600 from earlier this year.

The 360mAh battery (date code 230417) from an Elfbar 600 I picked up from the side of a road today

Found all these disposable #Vape devices by just walking into town and back today. Passed by a few that were little more than shattered remains in the road. Even the run overs might still have salvageable electronics -- the pressure sensor can be repurposed as a capacitive touch switch

At this rate I'll easily exceed the number I found last year.

Although she hasn't yet suggested anything about what to do with the pressure sensing (aka capacitive touch) switches.

#eCigarette #litter

That pressure sensing capsule found in most disposable #vape pens can very easily be turned into a #touchSensitive switch that is capable of switching currents high enough to activate small relays and solenoids

Simply slice the top off, exposing the edges of the inner and outer conductive cylindrical walls. Bridging the two walls with something no more conductive than human skin is sufficient to trigger it

Look at how small the #lithiumPolymer battery is in relation to the size of the disposable #VapePen
1.48Wh (400mAh 3.7V)

Might be useful should I need to replace another battery in some wireless device, assuming I can recharge it - voltage is reading very low 1.2V

Oh no! Free #lithiumPolymer batteries appearing in the wild in Canada too!

Haven't seen either of those in the UK not even under a different brand name. [pileofstuff] measured 4V on the battery from the rechargeable #eCigarette, 3.3V on the non-rechargeable #VapePen

A rare find outside the gates of a school - disposable vape device with a non-cylindrical battery. Of the 100+ single-use vape pens I've found discarded on the side of streets over the past year, the vast majority had rechargeable cylindrical batteries

Wonder who dropped it. Teacher, parent, or child

#VapePen #Vape #eCigarette #litter #lithiumPolymer #battery

I'm afraid that I won't be able to salvage these lithium batteries I found in the street while walking back from town
#lithiumPolymer #VapePen #litter

Found another Lithium Lampyridea out in the wild -- that is, a rain soaked car park for some corner shops

Found the guts of another vapepen had already been removed.

Both look like they have been stepped on or driven over

#LithiumPolymer #DisposableVape #VapePen #Vape #eCigarette #litter

Very addicting this #vape device habit of mine.

I cannot seem to stop myself taking apart single-use "disposable" #ecigarette vaping pens that I find discarded in the streets in order to salvage the components, namely the rechargeable #LithiumPolymer batteries that they use, in most cases only once.

Tossed many non-viable ones into the battery recycling bins

And I still have a backlog of 24 more pens to disassemble!

#reuse #recycle #LithiumIon #batteries #salvage #BatteryHarvesting

Two rechargeable lithium polymer batteries, one from a disposable vape device and the other from a rechargeable e-cigarette with interchangeable atomizer and tank modules.

Can you guess which battery came from which device?

[Bigclivedotcom] busts a myth that those cheap Ebay/Aliexpress TP4056 lithium polymer battery charger modules will end up overcharging your battery if you keep them in circuit powering a load (e.g. a string of LED fairy lights)
